According to police, 22-year-old Marvin Galdamez, of Des Moines, died when his truck collided with the back of a cement mixer in the 3100 block of I-235 eastbound.
Galdamez's family says he was a roofer and the father of two boys with another baby on the way.
Galdamez died at the scene. No one else was injured, police reported. Police say Galdamez failed to move over for a construction crew.
Iowa's Move Over law was created in 2002 and later expanded. It states that drivers must either slow down or move over to give more space when there is a road crew, stranded motorist or any hazard along the side of the road. The idea is to not only protect people on the road but to protect passing motorists.
"The law says you move over a lane to give them that free space there adjacent to where they're working. That didn't happen last night," Sgt. Paul Parizek with the Des Moines Police Department said.
This is the 16th traffic-related fatality of 2022 in Des Moines.
